Reduced hippocampus activity is a known predictor of Alzheimer's disease, as the hippocampus is one of the brain regions most affected by the disease. Higher levels of activity in this region may indicate better cognitive function and a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's, while reduced activity may suggest an increased risk. Normal levels of zinc and few plaques are not necessarily indicative of Alzheimer's risk.
